Norton Utilities not working in XP usr accts

Hi all, Ive searched this but can't find anything relevent. What's happening is norton pop-up blocker does not seem to be working in my kids user accounts in XP pro, they are getting tons of porn pop-ups, when I use the admin account I don't get any pop-ups, I can surf the net for hours and not see a single naked lady. If I log into one of the supposedly restricted user accounts it's not 5 minutes before the party starts, I had questions from my 10 year old daughter that I wasn't ready to answer yet. I log into Norton utilities and everything says on,
i.e.; ssecurity, firewall, av, pop-up blocker, etc. but it doesn't seem to stop anything in the user accounts and seems to do its' job in the admin account. Anybody have any ideas?

I've had problems with that. At school I'm a restricted user, and am unable to install it. It seems to only install per profile? Anyone else have this problem?

As far as the popups... did you scan your PC for spyware? Could be profile based?

Just throwing out a couple of thoughts/ideas.

Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

At home, I'm super user, so I can install it. BUT, when I logoff and onto another name, it isn't there. Unless that user is and admin, they can't install it.

I had to temporarily add them to the admin group and then remove them after the install.
